Sure THE LOVE PUNCH is probably looking for a slightly older audience but this first trailer looks quite silly but also a lot of fun, maybe my aging years is softening me but, in fairness, it does star Emma Thompson and she’s awesome. Behind the camera is BAFTA winning director Joel Hopkins (LAST CHANCE HARVEY) and on the screen will be a great British cast that includes Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Spall and Celia Imrie.
The film spans Paris, London and the French Riviera and brings together Brosnan and Thompson for the first time, as ex-husband and wife Richard and Kate, who may still hold a flame for each other. Unfortunately, their retirement nest egg is wiped out when Richard’s investment firm is defrauded and the pension fund is gone.
When they learn that the unscrupulous French financier (who has nabbed their money) has purchased a $10 million diamond for his bride to be, the divorced duo grudgingly agree to set aside their differences, and hatch a plot to gate-crash the wedding and steal the rock alongside the couple’s former neighbours Timothy Spall and Celia Imrie.
It looks like an old-school comedy with a lot of heart, and some good laughs from this first look. Check it out:
